We will argue that this construction combines semantic and syntactic quirks that necessitate a constructional analysis. Further, we will show that specifying the pragmatic properties of the construction (and in particular the presuppositions that introduces) allows for a particularly elegant account of the construction’s distribution. This, in turn, provides further support for the sign-based v...

although most parts of iran is free of malaria owing to appreciable struggle against this disease by the ministry of public health, in every case of fever of unknown origin (fuo) possibility of malaria should not be neglected. unjustified administration of antibiotics can delay the diagnosis because of diminishing effect in number of malaria parasites in peripheral blood. for this reason freque...

Fig 1. Dr Robert Murray Ricketts, the early years. Ilay down principles and crystallize the information of their day. Such a scholar was Dr Robert Murray Ricketts (1920-2003) (Fig 1). His influence continues to contribute to our understanding of the biologic and mechanical enigmas that challenge us. His writings stimulate the student and promote advancements in his beloved specialty of orthodon...

Whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBASAR) is used as a metric for human protection from whole-body exposures. The frequency at which the WBA-SAR becomes maximal is called “resonance frequency”. The present study proposes a scheme to estimate WBA-SAR at the resonance frequency based on an analogy between a human and a quarter-wavelength monopole antenna. Specifically, WBA-SAR can be ...

Currently, the best performing models for Chinese word segmentation (CWS) are extremely resource intensive in terms of annotation data quantity. One promising solution to minimize the cost of data acquisition is active learning, which aims to actively select the most useful instances to annotate for learning. Active learning on CWS, however, remains challenging due to its inherent nature. In th...
